Maternal adipocyte characteristics at 19dG. (A) adipocyte size (×1000 μm2); (B–E) Cumulative relative frequency; (F–K) Relative frequency histograms and the gamma distribution function; (L) Representative micrograph with H&E (20×). Median adipocyte size labelled with different letters differ (p < 0.05) by Kruskal-Wallis tests. Statistical differences between adipocyte size distributions (p < 0.05) by two sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Relative frequency by Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test. Small and large adipocyte cut-off points are defined by the 10th and 90th percentile, respectively, of the C or MO group modeled by the gamma distribution. (C: control, n = 8; Cres: control + resveratrol, n = 10; MO: maternal obesity, n = 7; MOres: maternal obesity + resveratrol, n = 7). * p < 0.05 C vs. MO; & p < 0.05 C vs. Cres, # p < 0.05 MO vs. MOres, by non-parametric comparisons of the small and large adipocyte proportions.
